    Copyright string: "Copyright 2009 Dell Inc." In the past drivers provided by Dell were packed with RAR so files should start with Rar! signature. Newer drivers are self-extracting zip archives. File 3442A16.EXE is AMI BIOS updater. There is nothing useful to unpack from there, I think.

    Thanks for all tests. Now some comments from my point of view: 1. If you have enough time, I'd like to see results for another test with 7zip: use -mqs switch only. It should be much faster (12-15 minutes expected), but give larger archive (1.5 GB expected). 2. You have found very outdated docs. I don't think you are using 7-zip 4.57, see here: https://documentation.help/7-Zip/start.htm All needed documentation is provided with current 7-zip package. Just run 7zfm, press F1 and read the help. 3....

    I should mention -mqs option rather than -mse. With -mqs switch 7zip sorts files by extension which means that duplicate copies use almost no place. It may create much smaller archive when there are duplicates or similar files archived. With switch -mse 7zip additionally creates separate solid blocks for different extensions, which may give slightly larger archives but faster compression.

    Some explanations: 1. I should mention -mqs option rather than -mse. With -mqs switch 7zip sorts files by extension which means that duplicate copies use almost no place. It may create even smaller archive than 2-step wim/7z packing. With switch -mse 7zip additionally creates separate solid blocks for different extensions, which may give slightly larger archives and faster compression. 2. The command line you have quoted is somehow illogical. Currently method LZMA2 is preferred rather than LZMA....

    Memory is RAM, Random Access Memory. It's clearly stated in 7-zip help. Available exit codes are also described in 7-zip help. "Not enough memory for operation" error message is expected when you try to create 7z solid archive with very strong compression on some old PC. For example: your PC has 512 MB RAM and 7zFM shows that 709 MB RAM is needed for ultra compression.

    This dll seems to be compiled using default MSVC settings, which are Vista compatible. To compile software for Windows XP it's not enough to install proper XP toolset (v120_xp for MSVC 2013, v140_xp or newer for MSVC 2015+) as it sets only minimal SUBSYSTEM version, but keeps default unchanged.

    It's a job for system command line tools. If your ListaT.txt contains list of 7z archives to test, you should just run cmd.exe and its for command as follows: for /F "delims=" %i in (ListaT.txt) do "C:\Program files\7-zip\7z.exe" t "%i" If you want to test specific files in specific archives, you should create other lists and provide other tokens to parse by for command.

    I think it's some kind of off-by-one error: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Off-by-one_error Some programs count references as a total number of copies, some other apps don't count original file and increment references only for additional copies. I suspect that there may be some changes in specification wording: some specification version may suggest the first implementation, another version - the second one.

    Some system folders are available only for SYSTEM account by default. In such cases you should first grant proper permissions for a folder to Administator. You can also try another way - add backup job to scheduler and choose SYSTEM account to run that job. Whatever you choose you can do it only when running as Administrator.

    7zfm is a very simple file manager. It can only use F3 to view a single file. If you want to view multiple files, you should use better file manager, f.e. Total Commander, Double Commander, FreeCommander XE or Unreal Commander. All of them can use plugins, so all of them can do open 7z archives and run slideshow or playlist when properly configured. Some of them are free, some may have needed features already installed and configured by default… Just download, test and choose on your own.

    It's not a bug in zipping app, it's backward compatibility. By default many zipping programs save filenames using local codepage (some DOS/Windows charset). You should change configuration to save filenames in Unicode (UTF-8). UTF-8 is now default for the Internet, so the same is valid for your web pages - save all of them as UTF-8 and forget about many possible troubles.

    I suspect you have never tested traversing folders in action, but if you don't like it… IMHO a good policy should recommend separating backups for Windows user data and for Windows system data, so you should follow Igor's suggestion to create 2 (or more if needed) archives.

  • Andrzej P. Wozniak Andrzej P. Wozniak posted a comment on discussion Help

    There are at least two solutions: 1. Map folders with full rights to drive letters. It's better for single locations. 2. Add permission to traverse folder for all (sub-)folders in all listed paths. It's better for mutiple locations (there may be not enough free drive letters for mapping).

    I wonder why you are making so many unneeded actions, when you can copy files over the network or use USB drive. PDF files are internally compressed and archiver in many cases may store such files even when using maximal compression. So you can just pack them with no compression, if they are very small - you won't lose time for compression and the large files will be copied faster than the bunch of small files. 7zip splits large archive into separate parts which don't have their own headers. Only...

    It is a problem with Windows 10 reported by users of many programs. This problem was reported here during last year in any topic with "mouse" in subject. Microsoft fixed the bug in Windows 10 build 1803, see for example here: https://sourceforge.net/p/sevenzip/discussion/45797/thread/0913b871/#ea8f https://sourceforge.net/p/sevenzip/discussion/45797/thread/ccdc2b72/#0545

    Any log won't help you, if there are random problems with your keyboard. A dirty keyboard or a keyboard with broken cable may repeat keypresses on its own. There may be also problems with some apps, which may not clear keyboard buffer when you press Escape key to close some (message) windows – in such cases Escape may be passed through to other apps, including 7-zip. So: change the keyboard and stop using Escape - it's not the ANY key you're looking for: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Any_key

    It seems that your external drive goes to sleep and 7-zip can't continue. I supoose that you should change settings for power management (and screensaver) in your system. You should probably also change settings for the USB/LAN ports used by the drive.

    That's not quite true. It's NOT a valid HTML document, it's rather an error message concatenated with 7z file. It means that the website is misconfigured or the website code contains errors. 7-zip in new versions won't open such files by default, you need to use option ”Open inside #” to open any file containing data before archive. It's been already explained 2 days ago, see the following message: https://sourceforge.net/p/sevenzip/discussion/45797/thread/75f11cd5/?limit=25#d7a3

    Let's run a command like that: 7zip.exe d existing_archive.zip file_missing_in_archive You will see that 7zip sets timestap of the archive to the current time (works like Unix/Linux "touch" command), though it has NOTHING to do. Now imagine that you have thousands of archives, but only some of them contain unneeded files, so you want to send only changed archives. You will probably want to use command like that: for %i in (*.zip) do 7zip.exe d "%i" file_to_delete …but it will update all the archives....

    There may be two issues, I think: 1. Windows Explorer uses your %TEMP% folder to operate with zip files so in some cases the total length of %TEMP% path and path to your nested subdirectory may be greater than Windows supports (AFAIR 1024 bytes). 2. Your subdirectory may be shared and mapped with a letter as a network drive. When accessing it via network, you will see only the short path to the mapped share. But when accessing the subfolder directly on your local drive, you will probably see "Path...

    If you want to use "track" as a part of filename, you should really use proper track numbers, see wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compact_Disc_Digital_Audio#Tracks At least make your naming pattern more compatible with other software, please.

    Plugin works great. Just two things to fix, IMHO: 1. Track 00 is usually a pregap in CD-DA or a data track in mixed mode, so on a pure CD-DA audio track numbers should start with 01, not with 00 (as I can see it in total Commander). 2. There are date/time stamps missing for wav files. If you can't get such info from ISO image, maybe you should use timestamp of iso file - to avoid using current timestamp. And one thing to possible change: use "track" in filenames, fe. quake2.track.11.wav (Total Commander...
